Thank you for reading this document, we have done some needed addons and released this version earlier as expected. That is why we don’t had time to fix all issues to the upcoming event. These fixes will be done 9/7/2011, I will update the component then again. For this version we had an urgent request for barcodes as some businesses depends on the system and the barcode was needed urgently.

Before upgrading you need to know some things in order to make this update working properly.
Make a complete site backup! Upgrade the component and go to the message center first. (All email needs to be entered again) We have completely changed the email system as it was unclear (for most of you all) what email was used where. And people are also screaming for payment plugins. So we needed to make it this way you can extend it easy for created plugins.

If you’re using version 1.012 or 1.0.11 you can create folder as described below.

Fixed issues:

• Not really a bug, but we needed to improve the icons in the CPanel  
• Now the barcode printed on the PDF will be saved in the database, you can use this for export.
  When you have a barcode scanner and need to use this some scanners don’t have the availability to read the barcode without the identifier, so we have also a functionality in CPanel (Mainscreen) to update all tickets and save the barcode. Note: this will be done in steps of 25 items, otherwise your server will probably crash.) This can be used as often as you want, the system is checking the barcodes and let you know how many to go. (The barcode is also shown in the ticket overview) 
• Mail functionality as requested can be turned on and off from now on. (Added a message center)
  All emails have been changed!! Make sure you make the email templates before upgrading. As we have added a message center, the emails needs to be entered again. You have now complete control over your outgoing mail. 

Added functionality:

• Email templates (add/edit/delete (only unsecured items can be deleted).
  We have also secured items that are used by the system, but when adding a plugin (homemade) and you need an email template (EG: for a payment plugin) you can use this system also to send out emails the easy way.
  You can also turn off sending email on some parts of the website.
• Added overrides to ticket-creator class, when you have PDF class changed, please copy the file into the override   folder. This way you prevent overwriting for next updates. The scripts will first check if there is an  override. If not, the normal class will be used to create the ticket.  We don’t want the same issues as   we had with all other updates. Important upgrade!
• Added an override to the ticket creator, this way we prevent overriding your designed ticket over and over. The ticket creator will first check if there is an override, if not we’re using the standard template for the ticket. Important upgrade!
• We have already created a temporary table to store payments for some processors. Some processors just need an extra table to read and confirm data when paying the order. This can be used by every plugin. This way you can check after the return if the payment is done and if it is enough.
  Note: PayPal doesn’t need this extra table. (Ideal for example does need this for payments)
• Search for barcodes in the ticketbox overview

Information Functionality Overriding Ticketcreator Classes;

Note: We had already the classes from version 1.0.12 and we have added this to prevent site crashes.

You do now have the ability to have class overrides, this means you can have your changed (PDF creator). In earlier versions it was hard to upgrade because your ticket was lost if you had no copy of the ticket creator.
We have now created a folder:[ADMINISTRATOR]/components/com_ticketmaster/classes/override/

How to use it:

1. Copy file: [ADMINISTRATOR]/components/com_ticketmaster/classes/createtickets.class.php
2. Then paste it into: [ADMINISTRATOR]/components/com_ticketmaster/classes/override/

During our upgrades, we’re not using the override folder, so every file this folder is being untouched.
